Help us build a church!

This past Sunday at Church of the Servant, the congregation generously contributed around $15,000 toward the construction of this new building for the Shalom UMC in Perechyn, Ukraine. We've been working hard at raising money for this project since we landed back in the USA a year ago.

Another $25,000 was granted to this project through the Woodworth Foundation here in Oklahoma. This was an incredible gift, made possible through a missionally-minded couple who lived in Oklahoma years ago. Their intentions for their estate was to aid in building new churches around the globe, among other mission projects.

You too can contribute toward this project! Help us help the Shalom UMC bring Jesus Christ into their community. Every dollar contributed will buy another concrete block or roof tile or light bulb. The Shalom church will use this church structure as an outreach post into the greater community. Your gift will make a difference for the greater good of furthering God's Kingdom into our world.

The total cost of the building will be around $100,000, of which we have raised 40%. If you would like to contribute, send a check to Church of the Servant, 14343 N. MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73142, with "Ukraine mission" on the memo line.

Thank you for your support!
